Title: Sons and Daughters
Fandom: King Lear
Rating: PG
Length: 74
Summary: A Double Reverse Etheree on the sons and daughters in King Lear
The poetry form Etheree consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.

A father listens to artful fair words
Ignores the one who speaks from the heart
Sets in train the family fall
Sees only what he wants
Finds disdain but no love
Goneril, Regan,
Cordelia,
Lear’s daughters.
All three
Dead

Sons:
One true,
One bastard;
Gloucester’s two boys,
Edmund forced to fight
Edgar inheriting.
The father oblivious,
His mistakes discovered too late.
The betrayed demands bloody revenge
And becomes king, but at what dreadful price
